Yunnan, “the land above the clouds” is a Chinese province with a difference, where there is a unique family structure among the Mosuo mountain people. Children live with their mother, without their father. The family name, as well as family assets, are handed down through the women.

The head of the clan is the grandmother. She controls everything.
